Reckless Driving in Inclement Weather

With poor weather comes an increased risk of
car accidents, especially when reckless drivers fail to adjust their driving to accommodate
for hazards associated with adverse weather situations. Motorist should
pay attention to changing road conditions, slowing down and giving themselves
more room for dealing with issues such as high winds or slick roads. However,
if reckless drivers ignore these responsibilities, leading to an auto
accident, they can be held accountable for the damages caused by their
poor decisions.

At the Law Offices of Vic Feazell, P.C., we believe that Austin drivers who
recklessly ignore and disobey traffic laws and common rules of the road should be held liable for any accidents they
cause. Our lawyers can help you fight back if you have been hurt by a
reckless driver in the Austin area.

Dangers of Driving In Adverse Weather Conditions

Inclement weather calls for motorists to adjust their driving accordingly,
but many drivers ignore this need for increased care and attention. Failing
to adjust to inclement weather can have terrible consequences, as poor
weather can lead to the following dangers:

Lower visibility

Storm debris in roadway

Greater threat of hydroplaning

Road defects caused by adverse weather

Slippery roads due to ice, sleet, snow, or rain

Increased braking distance requirements

All of these issues can make driving much more dangerous. If drivers fail
to account for and adjust to the bad weather, they may be held legally
responsible for any accidents caused by their recklessness.
